Speculation on Creation
God possesses free will because He can choose to create any good system that He wills. In all innocence, God gave free will as a loving gift to His angel Lucifer because God believed he would only use it to create good systems. But somehow, evil consciousnesses emerged from the deep, and under the cover of darkness entered into heaven to tempt Lucifer to rebel against God by appealing to his pride. Lucifer chose to become excessively proud which caused him to rebel against God. Lucifer refused to repent and became totally evil after God had stripped him of all the good ideas He had put into his system. God used His consuming fire to dissolve Lucifer's system. God then exiled him to earth as a totally evil and empty negative consciousness called Satan. Ezekiel 28:13-19. Even now, Satan's negative and destructive consciousness still retains the power to misuse God's good ideas to invent false and destructive systems called sin.
False systems always misuse good ideas. False systems cannot exist without good ideas. For example, 3+2=6 is a false system but not necessarily a sinful one. Nevertheless, every individual idea in that false system remains a good one on its own. Every sin is a destructive, false system that always comprises good ideas. One person may murder another, but every individual idea in that false system could be put to good use in a creative system. The desire to kill could be put to good use to execute and eliminate murderers from society. The metal in the gun and bullet could be used to create good systems called tools. The gunpowder could be used to blast out canals or to mine coal. The will of the killer to kill could be used to imagine and create good systems, and so forth.
Satan observed when God created the good systems called humans in the garden and gave them free will. Satan planned to tempt their free will to cause them to choose to disobey God which would weaken them to the point that Satan could then inject evil into the beings of the whole human race. Romans 5:12. This means every human has a good soul and spirit created by God and an evil and spiritually dead nature injected into its being by Satan which causes every human to sin. Satan's goal is to cause the good soul and spirit of at least one human to become so evil that it will refuse to repent. Its refusal to repent will transform its goodness to spiritual death and pure evil and lost from God's Love forever. Such a loss would weaken God's Almighty Love and give the Devil the opportunity to find a way to murder God and take control of His universe. John 8:44; Isaiah 14:12-17.
God's Word has promised that His Love can never fail, and He can never lose anything that He has ever created and loves. I Corinthians 13:8; Ecclesiastes 3:14. On their own, humans would lose their battle with Satan, become eternally spiritually dead, and lost from God forever. Satan did not count on God's Love being so Almighty that He would give the Devil the chance to murder Him by taking the sin and evil of the entire human race on Himself on a cruel cross so that He could forever purge the cause of spiritual death with His shed blood and water and His descent into Hell. After having cleansed all sin and evil, He would rise from the dead victorious over eternal, spiritual death. I John 5:6-8; Revelation 1:17-18; Hebrews 2:9; I Corinthians 15:22; I Corinthians 15:26; II Timothy 4:1; II Timothy 1:10.
God provides a higher and a lesser form of salvation for all humans. Humans saved by grace receive eternal life the moment they repent and believe. John 5:24. God will annul their spiritual deaths the moment they believe, cleanse them of all sins and evil with His shed blood, and give them the perfect righteousness of Christ Himself by which He can accept them into heaven to live with Him there forever. Romans 5:17; Revelation 1:5. God will save the rest of humanity confined to the regions of the dead when He appears to them in a great worship service as recorded in Revelation 5:11-14. When they see Him, they will all return, of their own free will, to repentance and faith in the Lamb of God. John 11:25. In the end of the world, God will save them by dissolving their systems with the use of His consuming fire which is the lake of fire. Deuteronomy 32:22. God will separate their living souls and spirits for Him to recreate to live on His recreated earth from their spiritual deaths which He will cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5; I Corinthians 3:11-15; Revelation 22:11-12.
